More Reading Material - Children's Books

I went back to the library yesterday to drop off some of my due books and picked up a few more. I decided to grab a few by Jack Prelutsky and Shel Silverstein since I want to write more like them.

Jack Pretulsky: My Parents Think I'm Sleeping and My Dog May Be a Genius
Shel Silverstein: Where the Sidewalk Ends and Falling Up

I didn't want to deprive everyone of their books so I just checked out a couple of each. Though, there were quite a few with Jack's name on them. I know I have read him before, but I don't think I realized how much he has written. It is going to be fun to read through these poems again. I know I remember some of Shel's and I hope They are in these books. I was never good at remember where I saw each poem. I remember the Boa Constrictor one but haven't come across it yet.

Well, less writing and more reading now.

Side note: I remember Jack Prelutsky most for being on the kid's tv show: Arthur and reading "Jellyfish Stew".

Job Interview and Outdoors

I had a job interview today at SF Globe. I'm not sure it went very well. I think I presented myself well, but when it came down to do some work on the spot vocally, I froze up a bit. It would be an interesting job. I'll have to wait and see if anything comes of it. My upcoming short trip to Chicago could be a deciding factor, though, because the day I get back is the day they would want the new people (person?) to start training.

Random house I think looks cute.

As I was walking back, I took some pictures because it is just so beautiful outside. It is California after all and the weather has been pretty nice. This area is also just plain pretty too. Below are just two other shots I took on the way home. It is funny, there is this one house on this block I walk by that has all these tall palm trees along two sides of it (the sides by the road) and there are not any other trees this tall anywhere nearby. They must have put them up special or something. The other image is just this swing that is sitting in this little island area between two cul de sacs. There is also a bench. It is a cute little area. I'm not great at using my iPhone to take pictures. I'm hoping if I keep using it to take photos for my blog posts I'll get better. Hopefully. I get kind of embarrassed when I take photos with my phone, so I guess I should just get over that. Today, I did get over my fear of looking at books in the kids section of the library and actually checked some out. Not sure it counts, I guess, because I wrote down the numbers and ran over and grabbed them. So I didn't hang out there for very long. I'll talk about them when I've had a chance to look at them.

I start a lot of sentences with "I". Feeling a little self-centered. Maybe I should talk in third person.


Palm trees are tall
I like swings and this is a cute one
